​
Open to all levels- from hobby dancers to professional students- all are welcome!
This summer we are offering not one, but two IDC Summer Dance Intensives!
Part 1: July 19-20, 2025
Two days of dance workshops and masterclasses, focusing on technique and improvement. This part is perfect for dancers who want a shorter, concentrated learning experience. While there is no final performance, participants will spend time refining their skills and getting one-on-one feedback from the professionals leading the workshops
Part 2: July 24-27, 2025
A more in-depth four-day experience where dancers will spend their days learning choreography and refining their techniques across various dance styles. By the end of the program, participants will perform in a showcase performance on the final day, giving them the chance to show off what they’ve learned in front of an audience.
Chose Your Experience
Participants can choose to attend Part 1, Part 2, or both. Individual classes are also available for those who can’t commit to the full schedule. It’s a great way to keep up your training during the summer months when many schools are closed and connect with other dancers from across Germany.
​
Throughout both parts of the intensive, participants will be mentored by professional dancers who will guide them in mastering new movements, improving technique, and building confidence. This is a rare opportunity for young dancers to receive personal coaching and encouragement from seasoned professionals who are passionate about helping the next generation of dancers.
